Is there a place I can go to learn how to change my own tire, and jump start my car, and put air in my tires, and really just the basics. Its sad that all i feel i know how to do is put gas in my car.. I dont really feel like learning from my husband and my dad even tho im 24 treats me like his lil girl and always wants me out of the way while he works. I mean id pay to learn stuff like that ya know? Is there anywhere i can look up to take classes on these things!?
 
if you really want to learn and don't want to ask your dad or husband, go to you tube or metacafe, there's a lot of video on 'how to'

I know you dont want it, but learning form your hubby or your dad is better than any class you could pay for. What they will, and could tech you, isnt from some boring textbook. Its real world, hands on knowledge. I was the same way with my wife. But i finally took the hint that she was serious about learning it, and every time i work on my vehicles, or my Harley, or any of my other projects, she's right there beside me, soaking it up. And to be honest with you, i love teaching her now. We've come a long way......she no longer refers to a brake caliper as a, and i quote, "calluhooper" HAHA Buddy up with em and soak it up. Good luck to ya
 
Do you have any guy friends that can show you? Maybe an uncle or something. Im sure there is someone you know that would be willing to show you how to do these things. If not just explain to your dad that you really want to learn how to do these types of things and to have patience when showing you. My dad took me out one day and went through everything with me when I turned 16 and got my car. Just take a day and go through the steps in changing a tire, checking your oil, and airing your tire up. I found its really not that difficult. I do everything myself.....I even replaced my own headlight and changed my oil. I really don't know of any place that gives classes. Good luck!!! : )
 
go out and get your self a good how to car manual with pictures and step by step procedure's then sit down and read.you will be amazed of what you will learn.
